Lin Yi did not come alone, there were three gold-belted guards accompanying Lin Yi.
One of them is the leader of the guards, named Yuan Tuan, and Shangguan Minghong recognizes him.
Lin Yi also brought some gifts.
A steward of the General's Mansion welcomed Lin Yi and the others into the General's Mansion and led them to the living room.
The entire General's Mansion is also heavily guarded.
Everywhere you pass by the mansion is guarded by soldiers. There are sentries at three steps, one post at five steps, and there are people at high places in the mansion who are responsible for keeping watch. There are also many hidden sentries that are difficult to detect.
Entering the living room, the steward asked the three of them to sit down, and the servant served them tea.
The three of them waited for a while before Shangguan Minghong came to the living room surrounded by several experts.
Those trusted experts stood outside the door, and Shangguan Minghong and Tian Ying came in.
Lin Yi and the three gold-belted guards also stood up.
Shangguan Minghong was very happy to see Lin Yi, and Tian Ying also looked happy. Shangguan Minghong stepped forward quickly, shook Lin Yi's hand affectionately and said: "My good brother, how did you get to the capital?! What a brother!"
I miss you! If you don’t come to see me, I will order people to go to the rivers and lakes to kidnap you to the general’s mansion.”
Lin Yi seemed very moved. He said: "I have been in the capital for a few days and have been delayed due to some important things. That's why I came to visit my brother today. I really feel sorry for him."
Of course Shangguan Minghong knew that Lin Yi had been in Beijing for a few days. He also knew that the important thing Lin Yi said was to trace the whereabouts of the Blood Ancestor.
Shangguan Minghong looked at the three gold-belted guards again, with a confused look on his face.
I don’t know why Lin Yi brought three gold-belted guards.
Lin Yi smiled and said: "I came to visit my elder brother and met Commander Yuan on the way. We had formed a friendship when we worked together, so Commander Yuan insisted on dragging me to the palace to drink with my old brothers. I said I came to visit my brother, and he
He thought I was an excuse to run away, so he followed me."
Yuan Tuan smiled and said: "General Shangguan, King Lin broke the appointment last time. So I have to follow him this time. Our brothers also miss him. So I followed King Lin. I will have to take him into custody soon."
'Go back to the palace. I take the liberty of disturbing you, but please don't blame me, General."
Although Yuan Tuan's official position is more difficult than that of Shangguan Minghong, after all, Shangguan Minghong also gives face to the people around the emperor. Shangguan Minghong smiled and said: "Commander Yuan, you are so polite. You can come to the house. I wish you could do it. I will order people to serve wine now. We
Drink heavily."
Yuan Tuan said: "I won't bother the general this time. Those brothers are still waiting. President Teng has prepared a banquet."
Lin Yi smiled at Yuan Tuan and said: "Brother Yuan, General Shangguan and I are brothers and sisters. We haven't seen each other for a long time, and we have a close conversation. Don't worry, I can't run away. You have followed me to the general's mansion, where else can I go?"
run."
Yuan Tuan also understood the interest and said: "Then I won't disturb you two brothers talking. I have heard that there are rare flowers and trees in the general's mansion, so I will go and see them."
So Shangguan Minghong ordered someone to take Yuan Rui and the others to visit the general's mansion.
Lin Yi and Shangguan Ming were chatting in the living room.
Lin Yi said: "Brother, to be honest, I have something to ask you this time."
Shangguan Minghong also guessed that Lin Yideng's house was not only visiting him, but also had something else to do. Sure enough, Shangguan Minghong said calmly: "Brother, tell me. I will definitely do it for you."
Lin Yi sighed and said: "I didn't expect that the Prime Minister would be thrown into the 'Demon Prison'. When I killed Feng Liancheng, my brother and the Prime Minister secretly helped me. But I was able to save my life in the end. Not only did the elder brother deal with it, but the Prime Minister also helped me.
It’s necessary. Brother, you also know that I am a very affectionate person. This time the Prime Minister is in trouble, I can’t help him. I begged the emperor for mercy, but the emperor said that Prime Minister Lu has committed too many sins and cannot be forgiven. Brother, you are
The leader of the Five Tiger Generals plays an important role and is deeply favored by the Emperor. I hope that my brother can also say something good for the Prime Minister..."
After hearing these words, Shangguan Minghong understood that the emperor had not told Lin Yi the inside story.
Lin Yi didn't know that Prime Minister Lu was the queen of Lu Zheng.
Also, the grudge between the royal family and Lu Zheng is a big secret and cannot be revealed easily.
Shangguan Minghong said: "Although the Prime Minister and I often have differences, I have always respected the Prime Minister very much. In this way, since you ask, brother, I will definitely intercede for Prime Minister Lu in front of the emperor."
Lin Yi said gratefully: "Thank you, brother!"
The two chatted for another meal before Lin Yi took his leave.
Shangguan Minghongdao said a little disappointed: "You came to my house and left without even eating. It makes me, the eldest brother, really feel..."
Lin Yi said: "Brother, it's hard to refuse the warm hospitality of the old brothers in the palace. Commander Yuan has come with me in person... In this way, I will come alone the day after tomorrow to have a good drink with my brother."
Shangguan Minghong said happily: "Okay, it's settled! I'll wait for you with wine the day after tomorrow."
Lin Yi said: "I will never break my promise!"
Shangguan Minghong ordered Tian Yinggong to escort Lin Yi and others out of the house.
After Lin Yi left, a man dressed as a guard came in.
It's just that the guard's face was covered, and his eyes were covered with a band of sand.
It is the Iron-faced God.
The Iron-faced God did not expect Lin Yi to visit Shangguan Minghong, so he asked Shangguan Minghong: "What's the matter with Lin Yi?"
Shangguan Minghong said: "Lin Yi doesn't doubt me at all. He came to visit me firstly, and secondly to ask me to help him intercede for the prime minister in front of the emperor. Haha... He didn't know that I was the one who designed Lu Xiang's fight, so how could he do it for him?"
Prime Minister Lu is begging for mercy."
The Iron-faced God said: "We can't track him, but he's here. Now that he's here, we shouldn't let him go out!"
Shangguan Minghong said: "Brother Iron Mask, this is the capital, not the Jianghu. If you want to kill, you can kill him. If Lin Yi comes alone, I will not miss the opportunity and force him to eat and drink, and then you wait for your move. But this time the three
A bodyguard with a gold belt is following him, and Teng Bin and the others are still serving wine in the palace waiting for Lin Yi. If I kill Lin Yi blatantly, then I will be finished!"
The Iron-faced God said: "There will never be such an opportunity again."
Shangguan Minghong said with a proud smile: "Yes! Lin Yi will come to the house for dinner alone the day after tomorrow. Let's plan it carefully. When the time comes, he will never come back!"
The Iron-faced God said excitedly: "Really?! Then I will inform the Blood Ancestor now and ask the Blood Ancestor to send strong men into the house tomorrow to be prepared! He will not be able to escape even if he has wings!"
Shangguan Minghong said: "The day after tomorrow will be the day when Lin Yi dies!"
…
Lin Yi and others left the general's mansion and headed towards the palace.
When he was approaching the palace, and when he was sure that no one was following him, Lin Yi said to Yuan Tuan: "Brother Yuan, thank you for your help this time."
It turned out that Lin Yi did not meet Yuan Tuan by chance, but Lin Yi asked Yuan Tuan to accompany him to the general's mansion.
Yuan Tuan said: "Prince Lin, you are so polite for such a trivial matter. My brothers and I respect you. If you have anything to do in the future, just say it."
Yuan Tuan returned to the palace with a gold-belted guard, while Lin Yi and another gold-belted guard quickly changed their clothes in a secluded place. Then the two came to a small wine shop and chatted while drinking.
It turns out that this gold-belted guard is played by Xiao Lianqin.
Xiao Lianqin said to Lin Yi: "Tian Ying took us to visit the General's Mansion. Although we only visited some places with scenery, the places we passed, including the guards, were exactly the same as the pictures Zhou Chi drew for me. I can be sure that Zhou Chi did not lie.
We. Even though the Prime Minister fell, he is still loyal to the Prime Minister. He said that if it were not for the Prime Minister, his life would have been lost..."
Zhou Chi is the undercover agent placed by Prime Minister Lu in the general's mansion.
His position is deputy steward of the General's Mansion.
